In oi'dgr that t o liner may im guided and introduoed with facility, it i@ provided at one or both ends with a .cnfi'or, wh'mh in the construction illustrated consists ot' an ear formed as an extension or pm'lnmfatinn of the backing stmV 20, said p'rojmitng portion boing rein orood or doni-noi back upon itself to give it increased strmxgth whio not detractin from the pli.n hiiity tiieroof; When furnis led to the con saunier the louder or ear 21 may be arranged in substantial alinement with the body 1- tion of the friction member as shown in- *igt 2 (either one or, both extremities being thus disposed) and after the liner has been introduced to the proper position, said leader or earls bent outward as shown .in Fig. 3 and also in Fig. 1 to occupy a position in engagement and practically in contact with t inner face of the band lul Preferably both extremities of the liner are constructed as above described so that when the leaders or ears are bent outward, as shown in Fig. 1, they occup .positions substantially in contact with t eroximate faces of said band lugs and said eaders or ears are preferably apertured as shown at 22 for re 'stration with the openings 15 in the ban lu to permit the spindle or pin 16 to extend t erethrough. In this Way the liner is substantially locked to ythe band, and the engagement of the same with the faces of the lugs eflectually prevents longitudinal displacement or creeping, of the liner with referenceV to the band.

To prevent transverse or lateral dis lacement of the liner with reference to the and, lateral lugs 23 may be provided, and in the preferred construction these lugs are formed -by and consist of the extremities of a thin plate 24 riveted or otherwise firmly secured to the backing strap ef the liner.

omize material of the backing strap. Ihe friction facing of the liner may be secured to the backing strap by any suitable means such as the fasteners 25 illustrated in detail guiide and prevent lateral displacement of in Fig. 4. As an additional'means of pre venting lateral vdisplacement of the liner, but primarily as a means of assisting in the uiding ofl the liner toits place, See Fig. 2, ugs 26, similar to the lugs 23 may be employed near the pliable extremities c0nstituting the ears of the friction member of the liner. These guide lugs obviously enage the opposite edges of the band 13 as the aaderis inserted between said band and the drum, and by traveling in contact with said edges, serve` to facilitate the proper disposition of the liner.

It willbe obvious moreover that the removal of aliner to permit of the substitution of another can be accomplished simply by disengaging the memberl of the band actuatin means'from the apertured terminal ears o the liner, andlpullmg the Same lon- This 'feature of construction is designed to econgitudinally from the interior of the band through the space between the band lugs and thence throu h the openin in the housing which norma ly is closed y the cap or cover 12. It will be noted that there are no supplemental fastening means employed in connection with the liner as described and ey illustrated, the proper anchoring or securin of the same being effected without any modilication of the ordinary brake or transmis- Ision band construction, and merely by utilizing features whichordinarily form parts of said constructions What is claimed is 1,. As an article of manufacture, a liner for the purpose described, having a, liable backing strap carrying a friction acing, and terminally bendable to occupy radial positions and provided with intermediate lugs projecting radially from the side edges of the backing.

2. As an article of manufacture, a liner for the purpose described, havin a pliable backing strap carrying a friction acing, and terminally bendable'to occupy radial positions, and a late secured to the backing at an intermediate point and provided with outturned extremities forming ,lugs at the side edges of the backing.

3. As an article of manufacture, a lin'er for the purpose described; having a pliable' backing strap carrying a friction cing, and terminally bendable to occupy radial positins, and radially disposed terminal and intermediate lugs rejecting from the side' edges of said backing strap and serving to' the hner. f

4. The combination with a friction band and operating means therefor, of a lining longitudinally insertible along the inner surface of the friction band, means provided on said lining for slidably enga 'ng thel edges of the friction band, and a ditional means including an ularl dis osed ends of the lining sup ort by t e a oresaid opel*- ating means or holding the lining tothe band.

In testimon that I claim the foregoing as my own, I ave hereto ailixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
